The aims of this study were to evaluate the frequency of healthy eating habits (FHEH) and sufficient level of leisure time physical activity (LTPA) in Physical Education college teachers from Rio Grande do Sul. A long version of IPAQ was accessed to verify the level LTPA and the “10 Steps to Healthy Feeding” to attend FHEH. Most teachers (66.7%) were considered sufficiently active during leisure time. Regarding the FHEH, step 8 showed the highest adherence (62.5%), followed by step 7, with 41.7%. Lower adherence was found to step 5 with 4.2% and steps 4 and 2, with 8.3% each. No teacher adhered to all the steps. It was concluded that teachers have higher LTPA than the general population, but there is poor adherence to healthy eating habits.
